Why you really want to stay overnight at Efteling

25 August 2025

Staying overnight at Efteling is a dream come true. And after a wonderful night’s sleep, you can walk straight back into the park! Discover 7 reasons why staying in our hotels and holiday villages is truly unforgettable.

Unlimited entry to Efteling during your stay

When you stay overnight at Efteling, you also get unlimited entry to the park on all days of your stay – including your arrival and departure day! That gives you plenty of time to wander past all the fairytales in the Fairytale Forest, enjoy multiple rides on your favourite attractions or take a relaxing trip on the Steam Train.

All accommodation is within walking distance of the theme park. If you’re staying at the Efteling Grand Hotel, you can walk straight into the park from your room. From the Efteling Wonder Hotel it’s just a 5-minute walk, 10 minutes from holiday village Bosrijk, and 15 minutes from Loonsche Land. Did you know there’s also an Efteling shuttle running from the Bosrijk and Loonsche Land stops to the park? It’s free and you don’t need to reserve a spot.
